Riding Russian Ridge
I usually don’t think to bring my camera along mountain biking, but I did while visiting Russian Ridge Open Space Preserve with the Mere Mortals group this time:
Thanksgiving at the Riggles
Riggles’ Old Kitties Home
With extended age, Gaea has developed the habit of no longer using her litter box. Over the last year she’s been regularly peeing in several different locations throughout my home and none of many different remedies has put a stop to it. She’s not only ruined the carpet but damaged some walls and the floor beneath.
But thankfully, in July, Dave and Kathie offered to adopt her and let her live out her remaining days in their back yard. She is of course strictly outdoors now but she does get some attention and has a lot of room to explore. I bought her a little outdoor cat house to sleep in and can visit her occasionally.
A New Cat Companion
After checking out a few older cats from various adoption sources, I’ve brought home a new cat from the Humane Society. I’ve renamed her Hera, after the Greek goddess.
Ostensibly she’s meant as a companion for Eris now that Gaea is no longer here – but that hasn’t worked out so well. Even after the very difficult first few weeks of conflict has passed, it’s clear that Eris is not at all happy with another cat in the house. D’oh.
Hera’s records are spotty so it’s not clear if she’s four or seven years old. She’s apparently been given up for adoption multiple times because she has some stomach issues and tends to cough up stomach fluid a lot. But she’s also a very friendly and beautiful cat – and super strong! I was tempted to choose Artemis (the hunter) as her namesake but, even knowing better, the name still sounds masculine to me.

A Weekend in Montréal
Taking advantage of a work-paid trip to our FileMaker Ottawa office, I made arrangements to fly into Montréal and visit for the holiday weekend before driving over to Ottawa. This also gave me the opportunity to attend all three nights of the Montréal Fetish Weekend. (Here’s some videos from the event.)
